President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi sent on Friday a congratulatory cable to President Abdelaziz Bouteflika on winning the presidential elections for a fourth term in the Republic of Algeria.

In his cable, the President wished President Bouteflika constant good health and happiness and his people steady progress and prosperity.

"Under your leadership, Algeria could overcome several challenges and achieve great and remarkable successes,'' the President said.

According to preliminary vote results, Bouteflika had won with 81.53 per cent of the vote. His nearest rival, Ali Benflis, won 12.18 per cent, and national turnout was 51.7 per cent.

Bouteflika, 77, was already widely expected to win with the backing of the powerful ruling Front de Liberation Nationale (FLN) party, which has dominated the political system since independence from France in 1962.
